Lorne Michaels is basically Jerry Jones levels of out of touch. That’s not to say Metallica is the super hip band to book for the show, but he doesn’t exactly have his finger on the pulse of what’s popular. I think Weekend Update is still making Bill Cosby jokes for example.

I've read that he decided a long time ago - by the mid 90s - that his core audience was high schoolers. That means he favors jokes that are more pop culture oriented or aimed at low hanging fruit. I think it's also reflected in the musical guests in that you see a preference for mainstream bland pop.

I think he does, just not with your half the country.

I just can't decide if Franco need reading glasses or less pot.
He looks like Gilbert Godfrey at times.

Wasn't a bad night.
I liked Michael Che as a liberal white woman.
Some good skits some bombs.

Also a lot of writers are never on camera. Colin Jost is the head writer and only does the news.
